To ALL WH 'MLIT MAY commit:

f Beuit known, that L'JACOB MAM}, of thecity and county' of Milwaukie, in the {State of Wisconsin, have inventedcertain new'and" 'nseful improvements in the construction and operation of horizontal Wind Wheels; and I do hereby declare, that the following is a fullaclear, and exact description thereof reference being i had. with; y f li o h h f m part of this/specification, in"

Figure 1 is an upper View of the wheel; Figure Z, a side view o f the wheel. a V a Figure -3,- a vertiealsection of the headland leyer'bar, with the governor rods and balls; and, i i Figure 4, a View of the lever bar. .--In each of" these figures, where like part are shown) like'let'ters are made to indicate the parts i I I T he'main shaft is markeda", t -the npper' end of which is aflixeda head and W at two pointg oithefshaft are also attached radial arms c. Between the. arms '0,

ae-ehotyn iiureil, are placed the yvinge d, -the'shafts of the wings being socketed so that-they rna'yf h e turned. "A sliding collar eis around each shaft of the wingeand is attached to the rod of theblindsgfdr elats of the wing. vilbratingleter f, ,b'y'a forked end fits upon the slidirfg collar 6, and by its other" end nponthe lever'bar g; Amoyableipin,hiattaehed to thehar g, is placed inside of the head 6, shown by figure 3, and is fastened at its upper end to a sliding collar.

wind fan or storm board m. The tail'n is secured to the eccentric o the eccentric having teeth on its under surface into which fit the teeth of the wheels 19. The shafts of the wheels 10 have on their outer ends bevelled pinio ns, which mesh into the bevelled Wheels g, on the upper ends of the shafts of the Wings. A spring 7', placed in a recess in the shaft a, tends to elevate the lever bar and through the lever f to shut the slats or blinds of the wings. The governor ballsby rods s are pivoted to the upper rim of the wheel; a short arm at right angles to the-rod s rests upon the lever bar 9, and thus operates the slats of the wings. Rods t are also attached to the bar 9, so that the bar maybe operated by hand and the slats thus controlled. The shaft or has supports u, in place of which friction rollers I -when struck by t e wind, will move in the direction indicated by the arrow in f ma y'be used. TY wings being attached to the wheel, as shown'and described,

figure 1, while the wheel is moving the tail n, andthe-eccentric 0 will remain in position subjected t the direction of the wind through the action of the wheels 10,

the. teeth of the eco ntric 0, and the bevelled wheels and. pinions, the wings will I make only one revo ution while-the wheel'is making two revolutions, and the wings, that face or fro t the wind, will turn much quicker than those on the opposite side; chains or belts may be used for 'regulatingthe wings; any desirable number of wings may be used, and a part-of them only be regulated by connection with the bevelled wheels g. I

' In a storm the board or fan on will be moved backwards, and by the connecting --rod 1, will operate the lever k, and press the'sliding hollar z andpin'h downwards,- forcing down the lever; bar 9, and, through the lever fiopening the blinds or slats' and letting the wind pass. When the wheel is moving. too rapidly, the balls of the governor being thrown outwardly, will force the short arm of the rod into the leverbar, g, and thus, through the lever f, 'open, to a greater or.less degree the blinds or slats of the wings. I I I 'What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by'Letters Patent,'-is-,-

' 1st. The eccentric o, in combination with' the fan or storm-board m, and the toothed-and bevelled wheels, as herein set forth, for giving motion to the wings, as

described. I V

' 2nd.- I claimthe lever bar g, as it is arranged in relation to the governor and to i the means or parts operatedby the storm-board or fan, and to the wings, as set forth.
